Whats the word with Vista?

You can get the deal either way (XP or Vista).

Vista - some programs don't run on it yet. Also you probably need 2 GB RAM to run it properly. At least that is what I keep reading on other (more technical) message boards.

So if you want to keep your cost down while having the best performing machine that you can, I would go with XP with this deal.

** Again, not a computer know-it-all but where I go to learn about these things this is the prevailing opinion, even when the board was discussing this exact deal.

That's the cheapest I see on the dell.com website. I just dont see how they could sell a laptop with the original specifications stated at such a low price of 440$. If someone does know where I could purchase it at that price, i'd luv a pm.

How does it not work? I did this last year on Black Friday with my digital SLR.

Re: Black Friday 2007
 

This year I will be traveling, but every year I only have one thing I say on black friday: Thank God it's deer season!!!

I'm much rather be out in the woods than fighting crowds at any of those stores.

Re: Black Friday 2007
 

Does anyone know where i can find a nice cheap XP Laptop for 300 or under?

Any thoughts on this deal (if it's available)? Just judging from the eBay sales, it looks like it could be a fairly profitable item to turn around and sell.
